Compromise is an independent who understands tax cuts improve the economy, big government is not good government, over regulation is bad for growth and the economy as well as individual freedom, people should have to at least try to fend for themselves economically before a hand out is provided, sometimes government is the best answer, and yet free to choose on issues like birth control
Compromise is believing no single way is the right way, and a williness to understand or seek to understand anothers point of view.
Compromise is not on the platform of any party in politics in America because they are too full of themselves to believe they could be wrong.
Someday independents will rule this country, unfortunately the ability of the american people to put up will rigid stupity is so far higher than the silliness of the 'either / or ' platforms of either party
